Start the Day Right (Smoothie)

Introduction

Oats are a great source of B vitamins, which we need for our nervous system to run smoothly. Oats are also extremely soothing to the gut. With the oats and almond milk being high in magnesium, this makes for a very comforting smoothie. It will keep you on an even keel and is a great start to the day, as it produces a slow, steady release of energy.

Ingredients

1½ tsp

soaked and drained oats

250-500ml (1-2 cups)

unsweetened almond milk or filtered water

A handful

of kohlrabi or whatever green leaves you have

1

apple

1 tsp

ground cinnamon

5cm

piece of root ginger

Essential kit

You will need a blender.

Instructions

Soak the oats before you make the smoothie for at least 30 minutes or overnight, then add all the ingredients to your blender and off you go. You can grate the ginger in if you prefer.
